Pour ma part, j'ai profité de ma forme pour flasher tous les blocs que nous avons essayé jusqu' à 8A, et même le 8A+ "Abandon".Even if the english is the only language, it was a great part of the trip, with some really good climbers of the team... (Rob D'anastasio, Mickael O'Rouke, Sean Bailley, Peter Dixon and Zach Lechner).Threes full days of climbing, with at least ten boulder between V10 and V13 to try...I use my great shape of the moment to flash everything proposed 8A and under, and I even flash "Abandon", V12.

La dernière chose, c'est que faute temps et d'essayer trop de blocs je n'ai pas pu grimper dans les quelques ligne dures que je voulais essayer. J'y retourne l'hiver prochain... c'est sur!!To conclude, Red Rocks fit my style of climbing really well. What I keep in memory is the ton of ptential first ascent to do there, and of course in the high level.The last thing is that we climbed so many problem, but didn't find the time to try the hardest ones which were in my mind. I will be back next year for sure!!

Bishop :

Un jours de repos, le temps de faire des centaines de kms de lignes droites et nous voilà à Bishop.One day of rest, just enough time to drive on theses hundred of straight roads, and we are in Bishop.

Une première journée ou je décide de directement retourner dans un bloc que j'avais essayé il y a quelques années, "The Spectre". C'est un bloc très court, et aussi très déversant. J'ai donc multiplié les essais sans me rendre compte que j'étais en train de m'épuiser et perdre le peu de peau qu'il me restait.On the first day, I decide to go back on "The Spectre", a problem I had already tried few years ago. It's a short and really steep problem, and so I did to many tries, but that was the wrong way to do. I got so tired, and loose all my skin.

Then, during a quick week end in the alps, I went skiing... But after so downhill, I had a really bad fall. Straight on the way to hospital, and after some hours of wait, I had a head trauma. So I am on a forced rest, even if I was supposed to train a lot at this time!!

Luckily, my good shape came back quickly, and I did some session in Font to discover some areas I had never been before like "le toit d'Orsay" or "les Beorlots". You can find a nice video edited by Mel below.

Last week end was the begining of the comp season in France, with a stage of the French cup. As I have not climbed in comp since last September, I was a bit stressed about my shape. I climbed well, being the only one to top the all 10 probles of qualification. In final, it was a jumps comp, and a bit too easy, so we had to top two problem in 2 tries to be on the podium. Fortunatly, I did it and win the comp. It was a great feeling just before the French Championships next week.

And today, the good friction was still there in Font, so I went to reclimb "Big Dragon" which was a soft 8A+, but now that the good underclining broke, I must find a different beta. I find it, and reclimbed it, and it's now more nice than before!! Probably an 8B, but I don't really know, let's see with the next climbers!!
